CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 194: DID I SAY ANYTHING?

In the blink of an eye.

It was already three days later.

Su Huanqing was surprised to see the clothes that Wang Tiancheng had specially delivered to her.

A luxurious hip-length cloud silk coat.

It didn’t seem to have any exquisite adornments, but when the cloud silk, like flowing water, spread out, it instantly hit Su Huanqing’s weak spot.

She was at a loss and exclaimed, "This...this...Uncle Wang...I...I’ve always thought of you as my real uncle...I’m sorry, I can’t accept such an expensive gift."

"What are you talking about, kid?"

Wang Tiancheng replied irritably, "I’ve always treated you like a daughter. This is made from lark feathers that Xiaojun hunted from the Martial Mansion’s Secret Realm with great effort, even risking his life to barely hunt down four or five larks. Then he specially sent them to me to make a coat for Xiaoya and you... You’ve heard of cloud silk, right? It’s priceless and naturally meant for family."

"For...for Xiaoya, and me?"

"That’s right, Xiaojun specifically instructed it."

Wang Tiancheng emphasized again, "Only you two have it."

Su Huanqing: "............"

Only the two of us have it?

She couldn’t help but blush, a joke that Xiaoya once made popped into her mind.

Could it be that Xiaoya told Xu Lingjun the same thing and now told this Uncle Wang too?

Just the thought of their private jokes being known by this elder...

Su Huanqing was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to disappear into.

In her heart, she hesitated, conflicted, with a touch of excitement that she hardly noticed herself.

After all, it was really thoughtful.

"Well, then... I’ll shamelessly accept it."

She took the cloud silk coat with some embarrassment.

And Wang Tiancheng instantly felt he had a grasp on the situation.

Well... whatever Xiaoya’s attitude might be, the fact that this girl accepted the coat, knowing only she and Xiaoya have it, suggests she might have some intentions towards Xiaojun. Such a superficial friendship among girlfriends!

Though, Xiaojun being too handsome could be considered a fault.

Unbeknownst to his daughter’s plans, Wang Tiancheng felt certain.

Su Huanqing said seriously, "I will find a way to give something in return."

"That’s for you youngsters to handle, this old man won’t interfere."

Wang Tiancheng laughed heartily, "Alright then, my job is done. Now I can report back to Xiaojun... See you."

With that, he waved his hand to leave.

"Uncle Wang."

Su Huanqing suddenly called him.

Wang Tiancheng asked, "What is it?"

Su Huanqing said embarrassedly, "It’s like this, I have some questions I want to ask you."

"What do you want to consult about?"

"You remember you once helped me get a set of ’Brief History of Britain’, right?"

Su Huanqing smiled, "That set of historical books was really helpful to us. The evidence of prehistoric civilization was scarce, but many things in that book, though seemingly far-fetched, after discussions among my mentors, they believe more than 80% of it is true. It doesn’t seem to be fictional. Now they’ve initiated a Camelot Civilization research project, and as the provider of the historical book, my mentor invited me to join it."

Wang Tiancheng chuckled, "As long as it helped you."

"Mainly, I want to ask you, do you know who the author of this set of historical books is?"

"Isn’t it labeled on the book? It’s... Vise?"

Wang Tiancheng thought the name was quite odd.

"I mean, do you know this Mr. Vise? I have many questions I want to ask him."

"Well... I really don’t know."

Wang Tiancheng scratched his head, saying, "The book suddenly appeared and spread from my company, but as for its exact source... Oh yes, you remember the Golden Sword of Victory mentioned in the book, right? Xiaojun might know this Mr. Vise because he once asked me to make a model of the Sword of Oath and Victory with a similar name."

"Are you saying Vise could be Xu Lingjun?"

Su Huanqing asked in astonishment.

"I’m not sure, you need to ask him yourselves."

"Really?"

Su Huanqing mused.

Wang Tiancheng asked, "Is it very important?"

Su Huanqing nodded, "Extremely important. If this project can be verified as true, I will then succeed in elevating my position."

"Then you need to find Xiaojun. In fact, it seemed like he was the one who first popularized this book. At the time, the flirty employees in my company read it to have common ground with him. Whether or not he’s Vise, he surely knows Vise."

Wang Tiancheng said.

Su Huanqing hesitated, "Is that so, it seems I can only get the information I want from him."

"That’s right, only he has the information you need. Too bad you’re too far apart, otherwise, he could deliver it directly to you."

Wang Tiancheng couldn’t help but secretly smile, thinking about how the "information" she wanted might not be information at all, but rather something else entirely.

Good things are meant to be used strategically.

That one-third portion of the cloud silk flower was totally worth it, if only they weren’t so far apart, this girl might have crossed miles with a gift!

"Thank you, Uncle, for your guidance."

Su Huanqing bowed politely, then turned to leave.

Wang Tiancheng was satisfied and turned to smile at his driver, Old Li, "See? We never make losing deals. I just took out a third of the cloud silk meant for Xiaoya and gave it to her, this girl probably won’t escape Xiaojun’s grasp. In a few more days when Xiaojun reopens internet access, I must take credit during our video call."

Old Li said, "President Wang, impressive."

"Of course."

Wang Tiancheng got into the car, chuckling, "Drive, let’s go to the summary meeting, and after that... I can go see my daughter. When it’s time, I’ll personally present this garment, I also consider myself basking in Xiaojun’s glory."

"Daughter? You remember she’s your daughter?"

Old Li thought to himself that his son-in-law’s gift to his daughter got partially diverted to help him find a mistress. Fortunately, the son-in-law and the daughter had a good relationship, or else eventually, there might be a mistress taking over, and later, both would still be grateful for this hard-working father-in-law.

Yet, the family dynamics are quite chaotic, so Old Li, knowing he’s an outsider, figured it’s best not to speak his mind... Moreover, it seems the young lady doesn’t have any objections... Hmm, others might not know, but as the dedicated driver, he happened to overhear Miss talking about it once.

Both the father-in-law and daughter truly seemed to be doting on this son-in-law to the extreme.

Five days later.

With the reopening of the internet.

Xu Lingjun also rarely took a break from cultivation, specifically charging his long-unused mobile phone.

Military-style management truly wasn’t nice, felt like imprisonment, with only these few days of freedom feeling somewhat relaxing...

But thinking carefully, it makes sense. The management style is inherently lax, if internet access wasn’t restricted, Beixuan Martial Mansion would probably produce a group of internet addicts, daily chasing the gaming first wins, who would still care about cultivation?

And on this day.

At midnight, the internet had just opened.

Ping, ping, ping, ping...

A series of notification sounds rang out.

Hundreds of messages instantly filled his phone, accompanied by a video call request.

It was from Sister Yaya.

Xu Lingjun clicked open the video.

Inside, a young woman with elegant charm, wearing a cloud silk coat and a short skirt that fully revealed her long, slender legs.

She twirled around with a charming smile and asked, "Do I look good?"

Xu Lingjun was confused and hesitated, saying, "You look good, really pretty... But... isn’t this a bit too short?"

Wasn’t this supposed to be a knee-length coat? How did Sister Yaya’s only go to her...hips?

So short?

The rest was cut away?

Sister Yaya playfully laughed and asked, "Xiaojun, you’ve really learned bad habits. I was asking about the clothes, where were you looking? Don’t worry, I just feel that wearing this skirt makes me look more elegant."

Xu Lingjun: "Huh?"

"Xiaojun, you’re really learning bad things..."

Sister Yaya teased, but Xu Lingjun felt that her mood seemed to be even better.

Xu Lingjun thought, did I say something wrong?
